^ I used to work with Mark Brunner, a friend of mine who stills works there and he says I can share them. Waiting to go on a winter walk through, this Saturday and I'll get some more. This is my home park and I'm excited cause it looks like it's going to be a fun coaster.

When I'm wrong I admit I'm wrong. I first thought the placement was rather odd when they first announced Flyer but now that I see it I really like the whole boardwalk/waterslides/coaster affect they were going for.

I'm going to be honest, when this thing was first announced I was upset it wasn't something bigger. Looking back, I realize how stupid that thought was. This little coaster looks super fun and I'm sure it will fly through the layout. I'm super excited for it and I'm looking forward to the pictures tomorrow!

Hi guys! On February 16th, 2019 I was able to attend Kentucky Kingdom's off season event, King Louie's Winter Walk-through. For those who don't know the park started this tour in 2017 under the event name "Keys to the Kingdom" and i was fortunate to attend the first event. I was not able to attend the event last year as it was held the same day as Winter Chill Out at Cedar Point. However this year I made sure to attend no matter what.

Since the park reopened under Ed Harts management in 2014, the park has installed 2 brand new roller coasters, refurbished two existing coasters at the park and is adding their 6th coaster in 2019, The Kentucky Flyer. Kentucky Flyer is being constructed by Gravity Group and will be located on the waterpark side of the park, with the entrance being located near the parks craft beer garden and Skycatcher. It is also amazing to say that the park is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2019

Here are some interesting notes about the presentation we received at the start of the event and during our walk-through:

As noted the park is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2019

A look at the start of the rides Quad down. The first of 4 airtime moments starts on the right as you travel downwards.

A look at the lift area of the ride as well as the final airtime hill into the brake run. The shaping on the last hill reminded a lot of us of Magnum's final bunnyhills.

The transfer switch is in place as well as one of the lift chain gears.

This pathway will be ﻿the rides entrance/e﻿xit﻿

The ride's t﻿ransfer barn. One train will be stored here at night while the o﻿ther train is in the statio﻿n.﻿

Steel rail﻿s for the track are awaiting the﻿ir placemen﻿t.﻿

I would like to send a special thank you to everyone at Kentucky Kingdom for allowing myself and others to attend the tour that was put together and for everything they did during the tour. If you haven't been to Kentucky Kingdom before or thought of going back, please consider it. Kentucky Flyer is looking amazing and it is looking to be a great year for the park!
